Asia-Australia vessels to revise bunker surcharges

The Asia Australia Discussion Agreement (AADA) said its member-carriers will adjust their bunker charges for cargoes on the Far East-Australia trade lane effective late March.

From March 23, AADA members will start imposing bunker charges of US$600 per 20-foot-equivalent unit and $1,200 per 40-foot-equivalent unit for dry and refrigerated containers from Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to ports in Australia.
